How to make a 'dangly' bookmark!

Hey Y'all!
I have finally edited the bookmark video! YAY! This was my second attempt at filming so I am super sorry if I am all over the place! :/ Hope you still find it helpful and can make some pretty bookmarks for yourself!

Hemp, beads and charms were all purchased from Michaels, JoAnn and Hobby Lobby. Can't remember which goes with which.

I'm full on obsessed with these and all of my daily books and diaries now have like 4-5 each making these amazing jingling decorations spilling out of all of them. I should add I'm using them in research books so these require more than one bookmark. In the past I'd use post it's or post cards, but now I type my notes and mark the page with these!!!

[@mrs.snyder2170]

First time seeing any of your videos, I absolutely love you! I laughed out loud several times, you are hilariously real and I really appreciate that. Don’t be so hard on yourself, KZbin needs you! Haha 💛

[@12lesflo]

Love the idea of the loop knot on the top!!!!! And I use wire to make my dangles. Never thought of using just the cord Duh!!!! Sometimes the obvious is not the obvious lol. Thanks for sharing!!!! Loved this tutorial.

[@Travel_Smiles]

Great video! Good to see you back on the KZbin 😁 Now I will probably go spend $100 so I can make a $12 bookmark 🙈😄

Pathological Buyer I

[@BethieD]

Very helpful!

[@MichelleElaineOfficial]

LOL so accurate. I know i will be spending a lot to make 1

[@opaldenja80]

Pathological Buyer lol!!!!

[@cathypicframegallerytodd5023]

Pathological Buyer judging by your “name” I think you would make hilarious videos! And you’re sooooo right! I do the same! 🤨 💸 🖇✂️📓📂📫 🤫

[@scanchick2978]

Hi Ali, beautiful bookmarks and I will definitely be making some of these with my homemade beads. FYI from a veterinary technician, it would behoove you to make sure your cordage is kept away from your cat because it is actually deadly for them if swallowed! If your lucky, the swallowed threads/cords will pass on through, but very often it gets caught and the intestines will "telescope" (or intususcept) on themselves and they die a very painful death! Unfortunately this is something I've seen more than once on dogs and especially cats who swallow needles and or threads, etc. So, everyone reading this Please share this info. with fellow crafters/sewers and feel free to discuss with your vet! Anyway, TFS such a cute project ;)!

[@AliBrownie]

So awesome! Have fun making them and thank you for your concern. :)

[@jbeaudi]

If you put the point of your scissors in the loop of the knot, you can slide the knot up and down the string. When you get the knot where you want it, pull out the scissors and tighten the string. I hope that is a bit clearer than mud! Love the charms!

[@AliBrownie]

jbeaudi Oh cool! I'll try that next time! Thank you for the tip!!! ☺️

[@buddieross8742]

I can’t wait to try this myself! I already have all the stuff just laying around my craft drawers!! Thank you!!

[@sophiadominguez9199]

This is beautiful! I’m making these to go in goodie bags for a womens retreat next weekend

[@d.b.4201]

Thats a good idea!!

[@shabbyoldepottingshe]

Thanks for sharing your beaded bookmarks Ali. Love the idea you shared how JH taught you to leave a loop so you don't have to use the elastics on a tn. That really is brilliant. Hope to make some this afternoon! Your bookmark turned out awesome.

[@jaimeseal3082]

I love seeing the hand stamped charms I made you in this video. I made them for you years ago. Im gonna have to make some bookmarks with my hand stamped charms.

[@dropstitchknittr]

Lovely! I take that top loop on the bookmark and put it under one of the elastics before I attach my top charm - just so I don't loose my bookmark accidentally - I figure that loop under the elastic won't be as bad as when I hang a charm there ;)

[@EmeryJackman]

Christianne Gerstner, CZT great idea!

[@flyaway2ak]

I agree and I am NOT be sarcastic I will make one soon and do as you said above. I have already lost a bookmark that I made the day after I put one in before with my B6.

[@kathyrivera435]

You are really good at picking beautiful beads, charms, etc. Good eye!☺Thanks for sharing!

[@LE123LE123]

Hahahah--my cats did the same thing with hemp! hahahaha And I'm exactly like you--all or nothing. Great video! FYI----clear nail polish is also excellent to use to help thread beads onto hemp :)

[@larissabriscoe8681]

😂😂😂 "roll it off like a booger not that I would know" hilarious!! ❤

[@waukonstandard]

If you were to put a fitted piece of fun foam (from the dollar store) in the lid it would keep your charms in the slots better!

[@gaylag]

I was searching for charm bookmarks and your video popped up! Thanks so much, I will be making them for our tweens in Sunday school tomorrow! God bless you!!

[@AliBrownie]

So lovely! Thank you for watching! :)

[@lacreshaflowers5421]

Thanks, Ali!! This video was great and helpful. It's so easy to do this and you made it that way. I enjoyed this video!!

[@ambiekraftsreads]

Hey!! I just absolutely love your videos!! Another brilliant video!! Your style is so groovy!! Happy Crafting and God Bless

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you so much!!! :)

[@ambiekraftsreads]

Wayyyy cute! Something else I need... friends that are crafty to teach me!

[@theDragonfly_life]

Here in 2024 and loved this video! ❤️

[@sunsetsky594]

Thanks for sharing this. I"m inspired to go shop for beads!

[@night4001]

Thanks for the tutorial. I’m making plastic bookmarks painted with alcohol ink and I want to dangle some charms on them. I’m not sure how to attach them. This did help. 😊

[@justinewhite-hadley3138]

I like your chit chat videos. It's like you're hanging out in the room with me. :)

[@Bikeshorts960]

I actually laughed out loud when you talked about the bugger thing!!!!!

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

Thank you for showing us how to do this.😊 I have been wondering how those were made for a while. I think they are gorgeous! I recognize some of the beads from Walmart 😁. They are just so pretty. But the bead collection is my daughter's sooo... maybe I better ask her first ☺️💗! Oh and I love the idea of the loop at the top for a charm, it definitely would make them easier to put on👏🏻.

[@AliBrownie]

I'm so sorry! I'm not sure how to help you. :( Have you tried contacting Canon for some support?

[@katieteage6571]

I've just found you Ali and I think you're just brilliant. 👍🏻💕

[@AliBrownie]

Aw thanks!!! I appreciate you stoppin' by my little channel!!! xoxo

[@natalier.7983]

[@ruthiev618]

[@JaySVan]

Thank you! I've always wanted to try this and your tutorial looks super easy.😍

[@Mayonaka47]

I have that same little dish, fellow A name owner. ;D And I just LOVE your tutorials because you might be long-winded but you're very thorough. :D

[@AliBrownie]

YAY! It was the only thing I could afford in the store! haha!!!! Thank you so much for your kind comment and support! xoxo

[@Mayonaka47]

You're welcome! Mine was a gift in my stocking and I love it to pieces

[@gillyslikejillysart7458]

Great idea with the tacky glue!

[@koyosensebe8027]

Adorable and the color is perfect thanks for sharing!

[@cupcake-bp3uq]

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you so very much!! So happy you could join me today! xoxo

[@cupcake-bp3uq]

Well...thank u ...for making such amazing vids❤❤

[@willowingchintz]

If some don't like the knots, then they can use a crimp bead cover.

[@bvtsunamiwake21]

The booger comment...😂😂😂 we were all once kids before!

[@bettychambers1333]

Ali, you can use ur tweezers to help get ur knot closer to ur beads. O, I love ur book bead marker.

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you for the tip!

[@mydyisgod]

Here what I use to get my knots close to my beads, as I’m making jewelry. A long straight pin. Its been so many years back and I cant remember who told me about it. But its never failed doing it that way

[@deborahk4637]

Love your videos! I learn and I laugh! Perfect!!!!!

[@maionebianchi]

"Brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT!" LOL

[@BeautyAndBrainsGirls]

You are so funny. Love your post .

[@koyosensebe8027]

Look so pretty I love it!

[@cynthiasmith5138]

The top n hat glue style is to keep it on its head so it is always ready to glue...

[@mydyisgod]

Super cute. Thanks for the tutorial

[@emmanemsandbutterflies3609]

So gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@sallymoodley1422]

You are far too harsh on yourself. Your tutorial is Great, the bookmark looks beautiful....this is a craft project....things don't need to be 100% perfect. You just cleaned the church....it shows the person that you are. May God continue bless you. Thanks for sharing.

[@BeautifulYou2016]

Love your tutorial. Gonna try this tonight!! tfs

[@bluberri4367]

You're always so funny in your videos xD

[@eileenmoore7725]

Don;t feel bad, I use to clean the church too. It builds character and we had fun.

[@AliBrownie]

Oh yea! I'm still cleanin' a church. Worship with my toilet scrubber. ;)

[@Sordenes090603]

Pretty!

[@vcolondres1616]

TFS. I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW. GOD BLESS YOU

[@sheiclackum5482]

You can put a piece of felt in there to keep things in place...

[@freespirit3775]

I like your bracelets your wearing! did you make them?

[@melodyjwilloughby]

I luv it. U did great

[@adrienneclark903]

A crimp bead instead of the knots on the ends may work

[@sunflower2850]

LOVE IT!

[@pilarbenitez7315]

Great Idea 👍👍👍👍👍

[@janiemelgoza166]

Tfs, off to Wal-Mart I go !!

[@ktsls82]

Now I want to make a bookmark. Great tutorial! By the way where did you find the brass top tabs?

[@julieanngenske1292]

Awesome!!

[@margarettaylor3033]

Can you tell us the name of the Jennifer Harvey video you refer to in the video at tme marker 38/39, I've looked but unable to find it. Hope you can help? TIA!

[@skarlett55]

Where did you get your book? Its leather? I’d it a day planner or diary? Thanks!

[@AliBrownie]

It was a custom traveler's notebook from Chic Sparrow. Thanks for watching!

[@retrochristmaschic]

Ali! You have the most beautiful beads! Where do you get yours!?

[@AliBrownie]

Retro Christmas Chic I got them from all the places! Haha! Michael's, Hobby Lobby and JoAnn. ☺️

[@retrochristmaschic]

I just love them!! Somehow everything you touch just looks pretty!!!

[@LovkynaPeral]

brilliant ❣

[@troytorrecampo8512]

where do you get those charms? nice bookmarks too!😀

[@AliBrownie]

I got all my charms from all. the, stores. Some are from Michaels, others from Hobby Lobby and still others from Joanns. I can't remember which ones went with which stores. But you'll find lots of neat charms at any of those stores. Thanks for watching! :)

[@lolaburt]

Great tutorial! Where do you find your beads?

[@AliBrownie]

I got them from all over: Michaels, Hobby Lobby and JoAnn. :)

[@Amandalynch-i2q]

do you have the link to cord that you use

[@justinewhite-hadley3138]

Thank you for sharing your darling self! Quick question, the boho charms in the etsy shop you added in the description - those aren't yours are they??

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you! So, the charms are the one's that I originally created and designed. But I just didn't have time to keep making them to sell, so I gave the design to a friend because she needed to extra income. :)

[@justinewhite-hadley3138]

That is SO sweet!! I really like them and wanted one from you personally but that's just the dearest thought for you to share with her. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of a caring Christian. Happy Saturday hun!

[@justinewhite-hadley3138]

I just got the Simplify charm. :)

[@MrTraceydsm]

Please do u have a tutorial on the actually dangle charm u hang off the book mark ? Tia x

[@AliBrownie]

I'm sorry, I do not. Thank you for watching! :)

[@MzRamZ]

That was fun ❤️

[@britbrat4559]

Hey Ali I know you made this video awhile ago but I was hoping you would help a girl out and give me your secret on how you decorated your leather journal? did you do it yourself? I've been searching and searching to find what inks and paints would work on my leather traveler's journal for a mixed media girl like ourselves ?? (I need to use something from my stash because I can't afford to spend money on special leather paints for one project) Do you have any ideas??

[@AliBrownie]

I actually don't have the secret because it was a gift to me from my beautiful friend, Jen, of Chic Sparrow. I'm sorry!

[@britbrat4559]

Last night I came across a technique that might just work. I want my leather journal to have the same charm as my art journals (paint spatters, stamp and stencil work with colors everywhere but i still want people to know its leather) SO...Alcohol ink! lol. Since it isn't opaque you still get the loved worn leather look poking through the color. I greatly appreciate your response Ali, it means a lot! I watch KZbin so much it begins to feel like you all are celebrities (Can I get your autograph!?) lol. Sending much love your way

[@ericamunguia7347]

Where did you get that box?

[@jessicacollins8049]

Im the same way, all or nothing. Why do it half way right?

[@gc0009]

Brilliant! hhaahha s2

[@elsiejungwirth7749]

where is your planner from

[@mydyisgod]

Wasn’t confusing at all, well to me it wasn’t. Again, thank you.

[@xanaduartstudioseriesartan7029]

your crazy funny, a good crazy funny. 😉

[@AliBrownie]

THANK YOU!

[@cynthiasmith5138]

You can always cut things off, you can not always add things on.

[@carixialunnacreativa2167]

you make me lol!

[@susaneddins4299]

Your cat can die from swallowing string and it gets wrapped around their intestines. You really should put all string or thread away where the cats can’t get it for the life of your cats.

[@joannejaime689]

same i do things for nothing

[@yeoldebookshoppe1761]

Just found you. Like a booger 🤣🤣🤣 AnaMaree

[@AliBrownie]

Bahaha!!! Well, hello!

[@afrahkhan1570]

U talk so much 🙄

[@rugbymoms]

Tutorial starts at 4:05. Sooo much gabbing beforehand.. No focus in this girl at all... 🙄

[@stephengallagher6512]

why do you confuse the issue by talking about everything but the task in hand stop the chatter please

[@sunsetsky594]

Her chatter makes it fun 😁

[@kd4472]

​​@@sunsetsky594Not so much...🥱

[@kd4472]

EXACTLY! It was inane, irrelevant, annoying, time-wasting (and yes I did fast-forward plus playback @1.75 x normal speed). I'm too old to waste this much time waiting for the important points to be made--there's not that many years left. Self-immolation would have been a better use of time. Try rehearsing, planning...more professional presenting.

[@freespirit3775]

Lol Okay Eeew grose talking about boogers??? grose

[@adaywihconnie5174]

If you can't focus you shouldn't do videos.

[@AliBrownie]

Awww. That's super rude. I'm sure my 26K subscribers would disagree. :)

[@sunsetsky594]

I disagree. Her styles is just different. There are videos that are like the instructions you get with a new product. And then there is the kind like Ali's that are just real and like a friend comeing over to show you new craft skill with a bit of chit chat thrown in. If she's not your style just move on to the next video. It doesn't mean she's bad at videos (I enjoy them, she's like a friend I can hang out with) she just has a different style.
